The artists play the National Anthem of Communist China inside a red mobile prison with an accordion at the Central Government Complex of Hong Kong, provoking the viewer to think about those people who got sent to prison in the name of patriotism. The Patriot is a protest performance art project protesting against the National Anthem Law that is about to take place in Hong Kong initiated by Communist Chinese Government. This bad legislation not only violated the existing Hong Kong Basic Law. If passed, it will be a criminal offence that deprive artistic freedom and can send the offender to jail up to 3 years in prison.
